You can use a proxy server, a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients, for connecting the Deployment Server to the Symantec Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) website.

To enable the proxy access, run the following commands to set the shell environment variables before you launch Deployment Server. The shell environment variables enable Deployment Server to use the proxy server myproxy.mydomain.com which connects to port 3128.

http_proxy="http://myproxy.mydomain.com:3128"
export http_proxy

ftp_proxy="http://myproxy.mydomain.com:3128"
export ftp_proxy

The lines above can be added to the user's shell profile. For the bash shell, the profile is the ~/.bash_profile file.
